The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1887-08-27

OUR newspapers give an account of
a mad dog which was killed last week,
after having rushed into three saloons
on Sixth avenue and expelled the occu-
pants. He did not have to go far in
order to do what the law can not do,
namely, empty three saloons in az
many minutes This wretched dog
went where he could find those who
are afflicted with one of the worst forms
of hydrophobia - saloon-keepers and
their customers.-M \. Observer.
